As the network administrator for a small company, you have been asked to setup the network. The company
received the major IP address 192.168.98.0. You are instructed to subnet the address to allow for 5 networks
with at least 25 host on each network. Router_A will be providing the clocking signal for the network.
Subnetting
1. How many bits will you need to borrow? _______________________________________________
2. How many usable networks will be created? _____________________________________________
3. How many usable host will be created on each network? ___________________________________
Addressing the topology
4. The LAN on Router_A will be assigned the first usable subnet address. What is the network ID for
this subnet? _______________________________________________________________________
5. The gateway for the Router_A LAN will be the first usable host address in the range. What is the
address of the gateway? _____________________________________________________________
6. The WAN connection between Router_A and Router_B will be assigned the third usable subnet
address. What is the network ID for this subnet? __________________________________________
7. The LAN on Router_B will be assigned the fifth usable subnet address. What is the network ID for
this subnet? _______________________________________________________________________
8. The gateway for the Router_B LAN will be the first usable host address in the range. What is the
address of the gateway? _____________________________________________________________
Configure the workstations
9. The workstation attached to the Router_A LAN will be assigned the eighth usable host address in the
range. What address will be assigned this workstation? ____________________________________
10. The workstation attached to the Router_B LAN will be assigned the sixth usable host address in the
range. What address will be assigned this workstation? ____________________________________

Testing connectivity
11. From the workstation attached to Router_A, ping the local loopback address. What address did you
ping? ____________________________________________________________________________
12. From the workstation attached to Router_A, ping the default gateway of Router_A. Was the ping
successful? _______________________________________________________________________
13. From the workstation attached to Router_A, ping the host attached to Router_B. Was the ping
successful? _______________________________________________________________________
14. From the workstation attached to Router_B, ping the local loopback address. What address did you
ping? ____________________________________________________________________________
15. From the workstation attached to Router_B, ping the default gateway of Router_B. Was the ping
successful? _______________________________________________________________________
16. From the workstation attached to Router_B, ping the host attached to Router_A. Was the ping
successful? _______________________________________________________________________
Console connections
17. Connect the console cable from the workstation attached Router_A to Router_A. Establish a
HyperTerminal session with the router.
18. Connect the console cable from the workstation attached Router_B to Router_B. Establish a
HyperTerminal session with the router.
Troubleshooting Two to three problems will be created on your network.
19. Describe the problems that you discovered in the network and identify which layers of the OSI Model
the problem was related to.
